An exhibition of seventy paintings, this is the first chronological survey of Neel’s work since 2000 and includes works from public and private collections as well as the Estate of Alice Neel. It is accompanied by a substantial catalogue in four different language editions as well as an English edition which is distributed by Yale University Press. In addition to editing the catalogue Lewison contributed two articles and all the catalogue entries. The book was very positively reviewed by Claire Messud in the New York Review of Books which can be viewed online here. Messud describes Lewison as ‘an astute and meticulous close reader of the paintings’.
